March April Series List in Order. Book Descriptions for series: Montmorency. Thief, Liar, Gentleman. Montmorency on the Rocks. Montmorency and the Assassins is a thumping good story told with consummate skill. There's pace, action, excitement and humour, with characters you really care about.
This time around, what starts out as a hunt for some rare specimens stolen from an eminent naturalist soon turns into a tale of international socialist revolt when Frank Francis , the nephew of Montmorency's friend and companion Lord George Fox-Selwyn, gets mixed up with a bunch of student anarchists. This at a time when Europe is undergoing not only upheaval and assassinations but also a flu epidemic, which reaches US shores just as Montmorency does.
The story portrays both sides' points of view and is laced with a melancholy rarely present in children's literature today. There's great sadness on many levels and a shocking ending even for those familiar with what history had in store.
Death stalks historical and fictitious characters alike, in the form of illness, murder and bloody suicide. Updale doesn't pull any of her punches. There's no need to have read the previous two books to appreciate this adventure, so, in that sense, it's a stand-alone title.
